What chapter did you find the file extentions? It is a new subject for me.

Ann. This is not exactly true about windows. You can to into the view menu and turn on file extensions if you like. Pulse data doesn't even shwo html files unless you tell it to show all files. I downloaded a web page by mistake the other day and was unable to find where it was until I remembered to tell the bn to show me all file types. When I tried to figure out how to save the web page as a text file, the help menu was no help at all. Pressing control X just kept saying save as an html file. Again, I had to remember to just put a txt extension on the file name. So if we are going to give credit where credit is due, PDI didn't even show me the html document just as windows didn't show me file extensions until I did something about it in both cases.
